If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself, but have no love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

It’s Hard to be a Christian! by Pastor Kenny

Are you one of the Christians who are finding it hard to follow Jesus Christ? My mind has been flooded this week with thoughts of so many brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. So many struggle with their faith, with obedience to God, with long-standing addictions, with doubts and questions, with thoughts of whether or not it is even possible to live in joy and victory in this present age. read on

Are All Forms of Gambling or Games of Chance Sin?

The Bible defines sin as the transgression of God's spiritual law, the ten commandments (I John 3:4). One of these commandments is that we must not covet, or wrongfully desire another's possessions (Exodus 20:17). Therefore, any activity that is based upon covetousness is sin. read on

What is Relativism?

Relativism is perhaps the easiest of all positions to refute. When someone states that all truth is relative or that there are no absolute truths, then it is a simple matter of demonstrating the illogic of their position.

Is Jesus Christ the only way to heaven?

Well, it boils down to a matter of choice, your choice to choose Jesus Christ. These days we talk a lot about choice. We discuss all types of choices: abortion, premarital relations, school choice, lifestyle, vocation, etc., etc. In America, the land of freedom, we may choose anything we wish. Some choices are good, some bad. Some choices are legal. Some are illegal read on

If God is sovereign, why do anything?

God's sovereignty, as I am convinced the Bible teaches it, means that God has fore-ordained everything that happens. Before creation, God planned and decided ("ordained") the entire course of human history down to the smallest details. All circumstances in time are therefore the outworking of God's plan which He decreed in eternity read on

Celebrating Christmas?

There is no Biblical warrant, precedent, nor precept for remembrance of the day of Jesus Christ's birth as a day of special religious celebration. This is not to say that we shouldn't remember Jesus Christ's birth and its significance, but for religious commemorations or celebrations, we must have Biblical command or precedent! read on

What is a Christian? by J. Orate (Calvary Chapel)

Webster’s Dictionary defines a Christian as “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teaching of Jesus Christ.” While this is a good starting point in understanding what a Christian is, like many secular definitions, it falls somewhat short of really communicating the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian. read on

Is Salvation by grace through faith?

The work of Jesus Christ as Savior is the prominent theme in the Bible. He is the promised seed of woman who will conquer Satan (Gen. 3:15). He is the promised Servant of Yahweh who would bear the sins of the whole world (Isa. 53:4-6; Jn. 1:24). As the Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross and suffered the judgment of the sin of the whole world (I Cor. 15:3-4; II Cor. 5:19-21; I Pet. 1:18-19; I Jn. 2:2; Rev. 1:5) read on

Why does God allow innocent people to suffer?

This is one of the most difficult questions for Christians to answer. The "problem of pain," as the well-known Christian scholar, C.S. Lewis, once called it, is atheism's most potent weapon against the Christian faith read on

Calvary Chapel Distinctives
The Foundational Principles of the Calvary Chapel Movement
by Pastor Chuck Smith (Calvary Chapel)

"The goal of all Bible study is to apply the truth of Scripture to life. If that application is not made, all the work put into making sure of the author’s intended meaning will have gone for naught. In fact, to know and not do, doubles the offense of disobedience " J.R.McQuilkin

Can't Wait Until Morning Matt 16:18

Number One is God Luke 12:48

I SeeYou 1 John 4:8

The Holy Bible says there is only one way to heaven.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - John 14:6

Any good works can't save anyone.

"For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; 2:9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

Does it really matter what we believe?

People have many beliefs. Some beliefs are very important; others aren't so important. What I believe about family and the raising of children is a very important belief. What I believe about which food to eat best is quite as significant. Some people feel that what we believe about Jesus Christ is not too important. But many feel that it is extremely important.

If you have begun reading this paper, you probably feel that your beliefs about God are at least of some importance. We invite you to read on! What follows are excerpts from correspondence between two student friends. The letters were not written by real people. But they could have been! We hope that what you will read will encourage you to think about just how important our beliefs about God really are...

Jesus Christ, Who is He?

Jesus Christ - A Name Unlike Any Other The name, Jesus Christ, has caused more division, agitation and controversy than any other name in history. If you bring up God in a coffee shop discussion, nobody is really offended. If you speak about Buddha or Brahman, Moses or Mohammed, you really don't irritate the listener. However, the name Jesus Christ seems to cut right to the soul. Something makes this religious leader more contentious and convicting than all the others combined. What is it?

Unlike any other widely followed religious leader in history, Jesus Christ made a unique claim. He declared Himself God. Not a god, not god-like, but God incarnate - the Creator of the universe in human flesh. Intellectually, that's disturbing. Spiritually, that's the most liberating thing that could ever happen to humankind.
